Yanks Announce Their GCL Managers

The Yanks have finally announced their GCL managers, and, as we suspected there will still be 2 teams there.  One will be Julio Mosquera, was the long term catching supervisor for the system, the other will be Marc Bombard, who comes to the organization after years up and down the NL.  He'll be 66 this year, so he brings a wealth of experience and fits my opinion that the Yanks should have their best teachers at the lowest levels.

Depending on the visa situation, the Yanks could be really loaded in the GCL this year, featuring a lot of those IFA's from last year.   We'll see.

Didn't the Yanks also purchase an Appy league team?

2 GCL, 1 Appy and 1 NYPL team are there short season affiliates, right?

Yup, and Franklin who is also old will manage the Appy team.

They had been going with young coaches down there for awhile, but it seems like they promoted a bunch of them into org jobs, and put some old guys who could teach the fundamentals down with the new players.

They also have 2 DSL teams. So 6 short season D teams.

The Appy League team is in Pulaski. It's got Franklin and some of the coaches who were replaced at the higher levels.

Since this is the latest Yankee thread:

A-Rod is a great teammate. He would have mentored Moncada better than Ortiz.

If he wasn't so rich, he would have made a good manager.

Trying not to think about Moncada today. But ARod can be a mentor to that ton of IFA kids the Yanks signed last year.
